Earlier in OE, all sent and received mail moved into a Folder, would appear
in chronological order. Now after migrating to Outlook, the received mail
appears seperatley and the sent mail appears seperately, both in
chronological order. How do I get them to appear together in sequence i.e. in
chronological order?

What version of Outlook? Is there any grouping on the folder view? Are you
sending replies and forwards to the folder where the original message resides?

Received e-mails go into the Inbox unless you use a rule to move them
somewhere else. A copy f ent e-mails goes into the Sent Folder. For
both sent and received to be in the same folder meant you had a rule
to do that.

Now after migrating to Outlook, the received mail
appears seperatley and the sent mail appears seperately, both in
chronological order.


Yep, same way Outlook Express works.

My first answer tells you how.

Rather than move the received mails, I save a copy of them in another
folder (once they get past my spam rules since I'm not interested in
keeping that crap). However, I find it easier to move a copy of the
received mails into their own subfolder, "Received Items", which I put
under the "Sent Items" folder. I really don't want to mix them.
However, if I do a search starting at the "Sent Items" folder, and
with the default option to include subfolders, then any matches
include both folders. You can change the view in the search window to
group by conversation, sort by date, or whatever you like. Of course,
if you really do want to mix them, the rule to save a copy of received
items would merely dump the copy in the Sent Items folder.
